Carisbrooke College

Parents turn out in their droves for meeting on Carisbrooke (live)

Parents were invited to attend a Parents Voice meeting tonight (Monday) from 6pm to discuss the proposals by Hampshire officers to close the school by 2017.

Following the public consultation organised by the Isle of Wight council, Hampshire officers propose the school is closed and pupils are merged with sister school, Medina College.

Island Innovation Trust, who are responsible for both schools and the VI Form Campus at Nodehill, have said how disappointed they are with the proposals and claim they can prove the college is capable of securing a sound financial future.
